Podcasts about abortion rights

As an abortion care worker and doula, Hannah Matthews has seen a plethora of abortion journeys and responses. And while statistically nearly everyone knows someone who has or will access an abortion in their lifetime, one-note narratives bolster assumptions and we are awash in a sea of anti-abortion stigma. Hannah Matthews, abortion clinic worker, community care worker, doula, and author, sits down to talk with us about her new book, You or Someone You Love: Reflections from an Abortion Doula, and how to better support those accessing abortion. Feelings on abortion can be varied. Hannah offers up a guide to the emotional and physical realities of providing true and flexible support to people accessing abortion. The book offers real abortion stories, highlighting a genuinely diverse landscape of abortion care across gender, race, and class lines. In addition, we talk about maintaining hope in the seemingly constant fight for abortion rights. LinksYou or Someone You Love: Reflections from an Abortion DoulaHannah Matthews on TwitterBirthing Advocacy Doula TrainingsCornerstoneAll OptionsExhalePlan C Abortionfinder.org Ineedana.com Repro Legal Helpline Repro Legal Defense Fund Digital Defense Fund Take Action Follow Hannah on Twitter and her website stay up-to-date on her work. Find You or Someone You Love: Reflections from an Abortion Doula on bookshop.org. If you are interested in becoming an abortion doula, familiarize yourself with the reproductive justice needs in your community through being in contact with your local abortion fund and abortion clinics.

All new podisode, all new SHIT WE CANNOT BELIEVE WE HAVE TO SAY. Colorado has taken the RADICAL position of saying you cannot take pills to reverse your abortion. Why RADICAL?

It is the creepy abortion lawsuit that keeps on giving… us a rash. Oh, and some Ohioan doctors are actually in their right minds and want to protect patients– we've got the scoop on all that too. And as always, we've got special guests! From Dicks: The Musical, the hilarious Danielle Perez is here to gently remind us that we have kinda been big ol' ableist assholes when it comes to our abortion advocacy. (No, really.)

Abortion is legal in Croatia. So why are women having to travel to Slovenia to get one? We'll also hear stories about women pursuing their dreams, from an Ethiopian fashion designer putting her own spin on traditional fabric weaving to the people making safe spaces for China's LGBTQ community.

The Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade no doubt impacted countless people in the U.S. But there are even some far-reaching impacts in other countries. Bergen Cooper, Director of Policy research with Fòs Feminista, talks to us about a new organizational report that details Dobb's ripple effects around the world. We also hear from Sharon Vilegwa, Daniel Arango, Dr. Souvik Pyne, and Ijeoma Egwuatu, global partners with Fòs Feminista, about how the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision has resulted in on-the-ground impacts in Colombia, Kenya, India, and Nigeria.  After the Dobbs ruling, there has been an increase in misinformation and negative narratives surrounding abortion, as well as the review of safe abortion as a constitutional right in Kenya. In Colombia, anti-rights actors feel empowered by Roe's overturning. Myths and stigma surrounding safe abortion continues to ramp up in India. Dobbs has been used to support arguments against safe abortion legal guidelines in Nigeria. While Dobbs does not have legal impacts abroad, its effects bolster the anti-abortion and anti-rights movement.  LINKS FROM THIS EPISODEFòs Feminista on Twitter Fòs Feminista on FacebookThe Global Impact of the Dobbs Decision on Abortion Laws, Policies, Legislation, Narratives, and Movements: Findings from Colombia, India, Kenya, and Nigeria Plan C Abortionfinder.org Ineedana.com Repro Legal Helpline Repro Legal Defense Fund Digital Defense Fund Take Action:  Make sure to follow Fòs Feminista on Twitter and Facebook and stay up-to-date on their work. Dive deeper into the new report-- The Global Impact of the Dobbs Decision on Abortion Laws, Policies, Legislation, Narratives, and Movements: Findings from Colombia, India, Kenya, and Nigeria -- featuring reflections from Colombia, Kenya, India, and Nigeria. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

E.V. Osment of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America The post 2692. The Rebranding of the National Abortion Rights Action League – E.V. Osment, 9/26/23 first appeared on Issues, Etc..

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Laura Friedman, California State Assemblymember, 44th District. She was first elected to the California State Assembly in November 2016, and represents the cities of Burbank, Glendale, and Los Angeles, as well as the communities of La Crescenta, Lake View Terrace, Montrose, North Hollywood, Shadow Hills, Sherman Oaks, Sunland-Tujunga, Studio City, Toluca Lake, and Valley Village.Laura's legislative work is focused in three primary areas: addressing the housing affordability and homelessness crisis, combating climate change, and protecting vulnerable communities. She has authored a package of bills to create new avenues for communities to tackle the affordable housing crisis, encourage water conservation, strengthen environmental sustainability, protect communities against devastating wildfires, improve access to higher education and health care, and ensure that California's foster youth have the support that they need as they transition to adulthood.She and Ted discuss her background, born in New York, and raised in south Florida. Her mother was very liberal and became an activist in south Florida during the Anita Bryant years, founding the first chapter of NOW in Broward County, which is national organization for women. Laura grew up canvassing for the ERA and abortion rights her whole childhood.She got her start in the private sector working as a film and television executive and producer after receiving her B.A. from the University of Rochester, New York. After working in the film industry for 25 years, she moved to Glendale in 2000, where she was involved with historic preservation work around LA County with the LA Conservancy and was recruited to be on City's Design Review Board for 5 years. Building on her years of community service, she was elected to the Glendale City Council in 2009, served as Mayor from 2011 through 2012, and was re-elected in 2013. She is now running for US congress to be the Representative for the 30th Congressional District in the State of California. Teds asks Laura about her Glendale City Council days, successfully pushing the City to execute all kinds of green initiatives. She also highlights her time in the Assembly, securing over $60 million in funding for key projects across the District, being tapped for several leadership roles in the Legislature, including the Assembly Select Committee on Urban Development to Combat Climate Change, and being recognized as a steadfast advocate for the environment, sustainable communities, and active transportation.

Starting in the late 1970s, people have been serving as clinic escorts at abortion clinics, guarding and protecting patients from anti-abortion protestors. Since then, volunteer clinic escorts have devised several strategies for making sure patients access the care they need and continue to use their bodies as shields against anti-abortion protestors every day. Lauren Rankin, writer, consultant, and author of Bodies on the Line, sits down to talk with us about the history of clinic escorting and the continued need for such a vital community-based practice. Anti-abortion protestors often camp out in front of abortion clinics, where they harass, threaten, and attempt to coerce those who are attending appointments. Clinic escorting has often involved walking the patient to the door, standing between a patient and a protestor, and calming a patient through conversation.  Unfortunately, the federal government has shown time and time again that meaningful abortion protections will be challenging to pass. But there is hope—you can push local elected officials in your community to recognize the importance of abortion care.  Find Lauren Rankin's book at your local bookstore or on bookshop.org. LinksBodies on the LineLauren Rankin on TwitterThe Clinic Vest ProjectWashington Area Clinic Defense Task ForcePlan C Abortionfinder.org Ineedana.com Repro Legal Helpline Repro Legal Defense Fund Digital Defense Fund Take ActionCheck out Lauren's book, Bodies on the Line, here!

Big pod this week, diving right in! Soooo remember how Kansas voted to protect abortion access in a landslide ballot initiative? Guess that didn't matter to the anti-abortion babadooks in the Kansas legislature. Ever since that win, they have FOUR DIFFERENT abortion restrictions that are laughably terrifying. We are breaking down every single one of them and asking how these creeps keep getting elected when the people of Kansas voted overwhelmingly against these kinds of policies. And all this is happening while in the same week, 12 more people just sued because they almost died without abortion access. It's grim, but we always bring the facts, the funny, and the ways you can fight back! PLUS, Barry Lynn from Americans United For Separation of Church and State is our guest! He's been fighting to keep religion out of government and our underpants forEVER, and he's dishing with your Buzzkills about his entire life of being “Paid To Piss People Off” (that's the name of his memoirs!).

Trigger Warning: In this episode we talk about intimate partner violence. If you need help or to talk to someone you can call or chat the National Domestic Violence Hotline at https://www.thehotline.org/ 1-800-799-SAFE or the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) at https://www.rainn.org/ 1-800-656-HOPE.  Over the course of a single year, more than 12 million people are victims of intimate partner violence in the United States. In the year since the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, the National Domestic Violence Hotline has seen a 98 percent increase in survivors mentioning reproductive coercion as part of their experience as compared to the year before. Marium Durrani, Vice President of Policy at the National Domestic Violence Hotline sits down to talk with us about the rise of intimate partner violence and domestic violence after the overturning of Roe.   Reproductive coercion, violence, or abuse involves behaviors that intend to maintain power and control related to reproductive health in a relationship. When this type of abuse occurs, an individual's ability to control their own life, body, and safety is called into question. This type of abuse has greatly increased since the Dobbs decision, and the ability to access sexual and reproductive healthcare-- including abortion-- faces more barriers. Interference by a partner to be economically independent, move freely, and communicate freely, may also prevent a person from accessing care.  LinksNational Domestic Violence Hotline on TwitterNational Domestic Violence Hotline on FacebookPlan C Abortionfinder.org Ineedana.com Repro Legal Helpline Repro Legal Defense Fund Digital Defense Fund Take ActionFollow the National Domestic Violence Hotline on Twitter and Facebook.If you are experiencing intimate partner violence, domestic violence, or reproductive violence, you can reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline via call 1-800-799-SAFE, text to 88788, or chat on the website.

The racist shooting poses a bigger dilemma.A racially-motivated Jacksonville tragedy, couple with a looming storm, pose big tests for the governor.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, center and his wife Casey, right, bow their heads during a prayer.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (center) and his wife Casey bow their heads during a prayer at a vigil for the victims of Saturday's mass shooting on Sunday, Aug. 27, 2023, in Jacksonville. | John Raoux/AP PhotoBy KIMBERLY LEONARD08/28/2023 04:14 PM EDTUpdated: 08/28/2023 05:12 PM EDTMIAMI — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' handling of back-to-back crises — a racist mass shooting and a potentially catastrophic hurricane — could help burnish his image as a can-do, effective governor or further damage his standing with Black Americans who have grown livid over his policies.Already, DeSantis' attempts to show leadership in the immediate aftermath of the Saturday shooting were poorly received by some Black lawmakers, Democrats and residents in Florida. In the hours after a 21-year-old white man killed three Black Floridians near a historically Black college in Jacksonville, several state Democrats blamed DeSantis, who is running for president, for creating an environment, through policies such as loosening gun laws and ending diversity programs, that helped hate fester.DeSantis has condemned the shooting and said “targeting people due to their race has no place in this state of Florida.” But attending a Sunday night vigil in Jacksonville, he was jeered and booed by people who had come out to remember the victims. At one point, a Jacksonville Democratic councilmember stepped in to calm the crowd, urging people to “put parties aside.” Later during the event, a pastor took issue with DeSantis describing the gunman as a “scumbag,” and said he should have used the word “racist” instead.The vigil stood in contrast to press conferences in Tallahassee on Sunday and Monday, when DeSantis appeared visibly tired but spoke authoritatively about preparations overseeing Tropical Storm Idalia, which is forecast to become a major hurricane. He canceled campaign appearances and fundraisers, and told Floridians Sunday they could “rest assured” because “I am here” and would “get the job done.”DeSantis says politics won't interfere with storm response“He needs to be in Florida for as long as it takes,” said Adam Hollingsworth, the former chief of staff to Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who served as governor before DeSantis. “His presidential ambitions could be a distraction, but first Gov. DeSantis has to dance with the one who brought him. Right now, that's the people of Florida.”Though the shooting and looming storm are taking DeSantis away from campaigning for president following a high-profile debate, they'll also allow voters and donors to see the governor at work leading the hurricane response, letting the public assess how he balances multiple priorities, displays empathy and projects leadership in moments of tragedy. At the same time, the shooting has shined a spotlight on DeSantis' record and vulnerabilities on race, one of the areas for which he has faced the most criticism and controversy as governor.In times of tragedy, opponents are “looking for a misstep,” acknowledged Craig Fugate, who led Florida's emergency division under Gov. Jeb Bush and oversaw FEMA during the Obama administration.“They're looking for something to go wrong — particularly for the opponents; they're looking for something to capitalize on,” Fugate said.DeSantis began his Monday morning hurricane preparedness press conference by first addressing the mass shooting. He pledged $1 million in security funding to Edward Waters University, a historically Black university that the gunman is believed to have initially targeted, as well as $100,000 toward a charity for the families of the victims. He also deployed state law enforcement officials to evaluate the campus' security and make additional recommendations, pledging to continue to assist in the “days and weeks ahead.”But many Democrats in the state panned his response. They pointed to laws he enacted in Florida to carve up representation in a Black-majority district that eventually led a Black Democratic congressman, Rep. Al Lawson, to lose his seat. They also pointed to his policies, approved by the GOP-led Legislature, banning what he calls “critical race theory” in schools, as well as his defense of a public school curriculum on Black history that required middle-school teachers to instruct that enslaved people “developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”Florida Minority House Leader Fentrice Driskell, a Black Democrat of Tampa, said it was “absolutely” the right decision for DeSantis to attend the vigil but added that she didn't want to give him a pass.“The reality is, a number of wrongheaded decisions about the state of Florida, and who we are as a people, I think contributed to this charged political climate that resulted in the violence that we saw,” Driskell said in an interview.The accused gunman, identified as Ryan Palmeter, had a racist manifesto and drew swastikas on his weapons. He also had a history of mental illness, having been involuntarily institutionalized for emergency mental health services as a teenager, police said.During DeSantis' vigil remarks Sunday, Democratic state Rep. Angela Nixon, who represents the district where the shooting took place, could be seen glaring at the governor in videos and photos widely shared on social media.“We feel the same,” the NAACP wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.AXIOS: Biden set to name first 10 drugs subject to Medicare negotiations.The blood-thinners Eliquis and Xarelto are among the 10 prescription medicines the Biden administration will seek lower Medicare prices for as part of a new program allowing the government to negotiate drug prices for America's seniors.Why it matters: The administration's landmark announcement Tuesday detailed the first-ever set of drugs subject to Medicare price negotiations, a longtime Democratic priority included in last year's Inflation Reduction Act over drug companies' fervent objections.Other drugs up for negotiation include:Jardiance, a diabetes drug.Januvia, also for diabetes.Farxiga, another diabetes drug.Entresto, for heart failure.Enbrel, for arthritis and psoriasis.Imbruvica, a blood cancer drug.Stelara, used on psoriasis, Crohn's disease and other illnesses.Fiasp, also used for diabetes.Of note: Insulin is already subject to a $35 monthly co-pay cap for Medicare prescription drug plan enrollees under a different provision of the IRA.State of play: The drugs' manufacturers will have just over a month to decide whether to participate in negotiations — which the industry is battling in court — or sit out the process, at the risk of significant financial penalty.Drugmakers who refuse to negotiate with Medicare face an excise tax of up to 95% of their U.S. sales, or they can withdraw their drugs from Medicare and Medicaid coverage, shutting them out of huge markets.What they're saying: "The cancer moonshot will not succeed if this administration continues to dismantle the innovation rocket we need to get there," Stephen Ubl, CEO of industry trade group PhRMA, said in a statement following the release of the list.Zoom out: The medicines up for negotiation were chosen from a list of the 50 products with the highest spending in Medicare's prescription drug program, Part D.The selected drugs accounted for 20% of Part D prescription costs between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023, according to the Health and Human Services Department.Some of the highest-cost Medicare drugs were not eligible for this round of negotiations, either because they still have market exclusivity, they're the only option for a rare disease or another factor.The prices won't take effect before the 2024 elections, but Democrats are expected to tout the negotiations, along with other drug cost reforms in the IRA, as part of their campaign messaging.What's next: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will submit price offers to the drug companies by Feb. 1, with negotiations continuing until next August.CMS will publish the drugs' final maximum fair prices by Sept. 1, 2024, and prices will go into effect in 2026.What we're watching: Ongoing legal challenges could draw out or halt the negotiation process.Drugmakers and allied groups have already filed eight lawsuits against the Medicare drug negotiation process, and more lawsuits could follow Tuesday's announcement.President Biden and his health officials committed this morning to fighting industry lawsuits."Let me be clear: I am not backing down. There is no reason why Americans should be forced to pay more than any developed nation for life-saving prescriptions just to pad Big Pharma's pockets," Biden said in a statement.Nikki HaleyDAILY BEAST: Is it time for Republicans to take Nikki Haley seriously?According to a new Emerson College Polling survey, “Haley saw the largest increase in support among Republican candidates, jumping 5 points from 2 percent to 7 percent” following last week's debate.“Nikki Haley's support increased from about 2 percent to 9 percent among voters over 50 [years of age],” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, “while Trump's support dropped within this age group from about 56 percent to 49 percent after the debate.”Republican Debaters Agreed on One Thing: They Hate Vivek RamaswamyThis jump is modest, inasmuch as it still leaves Haley in the single digits. But it's also no outlier. According to a poll conducted by The Washington Post, FiveThirtyEight, and Ipsos released last Thursday, voters were persuaded to at least give her a second look. “Pre-debate, 29 percent of GOP primary voters who watched the debate said they were considering voting for her,” according to the survey, “and that increased to 46 percent after the debate.”So how did she do it? Haley caught our attention by being first to hit Trump (from the right), when she criticized him for “adding eight trillion to our debt.” This surprised everyone, demonstrated courage, and put to rest the notion that she is merely running to be Trump's vice president.Haley also staked out a strong position on abortion. While stressing her pro-life beliefs, she made the pragmatic case that a federal abortion ban would require 60 votes. Instead, Haley urged Republicans to focus on consensus issues, like banning late-term abortions, making sure contraception is widely available, and supporting adoption as an alternative.Trump's former veep, Mike Pence, who supports a 15-week federal ban on abortion, took umbrage with this. “Nikki, you're my friend, but consensus is the opposite of leadership,” Pence scolded. (As the Never Trump conservative writer Jonah Goldberg has pointed out on his podcast, building consensus is often a key attribute of leadership.)The Republican Debate Was a Futile Pudding Wrestling MatchThis exchange, like others during that same debate, made it clear that in a general election Nikki Haley would likely be Joe Biden's most challenging opponent.Having served as governor of South Carolina and ambassador to the United Nations, she has the experience needed for the office. She also has sharp elbows. (“You have no foreign policy experience and it shows,” she told Vivek Ramaswamy.)At 51, Haley would present a stark contrast in terms of generational change, assuming that Joe Biden was still the Democratic nominee. And (unlike others) she is not staking out an abortion position that might render her effectively unelectable, should she become the Republican nominee.Haley (who frequently cites Margaret Thatcher's line, “If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman”) was the only woman on that stage. Her identity, temperament, and policy positions could help chip away at the gender gap that has only grown in recent years.The obvious caveat here is that all of these things would make Haley a great candidate to beat Joe Biden if she somehow wins the Republican nomination. But that's an awfully big “if.”Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: GOP Debate Showed How Not to Pick a PresidentHaley's answer to this is to make the electability argument: “We have to face the fact that Trump is the most disliked politician in America,” she—and she, alone—averred during last week's debate.But will that dog hunt?Right now, the electability argument isn't persuading Republicans to jump off the Trump bandwagon, even though that argument is likely the only one that could ever work. At some point (perhaps after Donald Trump goes on trial and it's too late), Republicans might be convinced that, as entertaining as Trump is, he simply can't win.Based on all of this, you might expect me to suggest that it's time to clear the field—to rally every freedom conservative, Reagan Republican, and Never Trump conservative to coalesce around Haley as the GOP's last, best hope.Some of my colleagues are already there. The New York Times columnist David Brooks, for example, declared last week that “Wednesday's debate persuaded me that the best Trump alternative is not [Tim] Scott, it's Nikki Haley.”But here's my problem. Haley has been all over the map for years now. One day she's courageous and impressive, and the next day she's a pathetic Trump toady.Haley is a political chameleon, which makes me reluctant to ever trust her again.Trump and Ramaswamy Show Us How the Worst Get to the TopOn the other hand, anyone looking for purity (as it pertains to Trump) can also dismiss Pence and Chris Christie—both of whom supported Trump until Jan. 6—and a vast swath of today's leading Never Trumpers. As the Good Book says, “Who then can be saved?”Nikki Haley's got a long way to go before she clears the not-Trump lane of candidates, much less taking on the final boss himself. And though nothing has yet made a dent in Trump's domination of the GOP voter base, he's never run as a candidate on trial before. But the whole 91-felony indictment thing might just do the trick.If Haley can prove herself by stringing together two or three of these kinds of courageous performances—in which she not only characterizes Trump as the guy who already lost to Biden, but also that she's as real a conservative as any of the other contenders—there is a path to success.It's hardly guaranteed, and as I've noted, courage comes and goes with Haley. But in the “Matt Lewis primary,” you can count me among the 46 percent who are now considering voting for her.Read more at The Daily Beast.SEMAFOR: Nikki Haley's abortion message could catch on in the GOPMorgan Chalfant and Kadia GobaRepublicans worried about Democrats leveraging abortion (again) to make gains in 2024 want GOP candidates to take a page out of Nikki Haley's debate prep playbook.Haley dismissed the idea that a 15-week national abortion ban could pass through Congress. Instead, she argued the focus should be on finding “consensus” around banning “late-term abortions,” sustaining access to contraception, allowing doctors who don't support abortion refuse to perform them, and preventing women who get abortions from being penalized.Defeated Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon bluntly said on Fox News that Republicans would lose the messaging war in 2024 unless they followed Haley's “perfect response” in the debate.“No one really understood how important abortion would be in 2022 because no one had run in a post-Roe world, so we suddenly got attacked, viciously attacked, by the Democrats, and it is a winning message for them,” she said. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer highlighted Dixon's opposition to rape exceptions in abortion bans in their contest, which took place alongide a ballot initiative guaranteeing abortion rights that passed by a wide margin.“The only candidate on the stage that talked about how we should protect women and not demonize them was Nikki Haley,” Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C. said Sunday on CBS of the first GOP presidential debate. “And that is a message that we have to carry through. We have to be pro-woman and pro-life. You cannot go after women and attack them because they make a choice that you don't like or don't agree with.”And Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., who represents a district President Biden won in 2020, told Semafor at a watch party last week: “She had probably the best-packaged message on abortion that I've heard, I want to say, in my entire adult life.”Haley might have won herself some fans, but her position wasn't a favorite within the anti-abortion movement, which has rallied around a 15-week federal ban as a minimum ask for candidates.

Abortion rights will be on the ballot in November and conservatives can't agree on whether a compromise should be on the table. On this week's episode of Snollygoster, Ohio's politics podcast from WOSU, host Mike Thompson talks to Republican strategist Terry Casey about a rift in the GOP.

There have been and continue to be significant bans on abortion in the military (with limited exceptions), through TRICARE and at military treatment facilities. This means most military service members and dependents who need abortion care cannot access it through the military. Jackii Wang, Senior Legislative Analyst with the National Women's Law Center, sits down to talk with us about a new policy memorandum that expands abortion access for military service members and their dependents.  Post Dobbs, the Department of Defense and the Biden administration have announced a number of changes, some of which have gone into effect. These include providing travel and transportation allowances for traveling off base for an abortion, standardizing “administrative absence,” and extending the deadline to disclose a pregnancy to a commander. These policies have been met with fierce backlash from anti-abortion actors, including those in the Senate who are upholding nominations for military posts.  LinksFAQ: Actions by the Dept. of Defense to Protect Abortion and Reproductive Health Care Access for Military Families  National Women's Law Center on FacebookNational Women's Law Center on TwitterPlan C Abortionfinder.org Ineedana.com Repro Legal Helpline Repro Legal Defense Fund Digital Defense Fund Take Action Follow the National Women's Law Center on Twitter and Facebook. Have conversations with people in your life about the news surrounding abortion and the military.

RealClearPolitics Washington bureau chief Carl Cannon, Pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson and columnist at the Messenger website Joe Concha join Andrew Walworth on today's RCP Takeaway podcast.

In this episode of "Mid Atlantic," host Roifield Brown welcomes Emma Burnell, a UK journalist in London; Logan Phillips, a political pollster in Washington, D.C. and Corey Bernard, a political pundit in Manchester. The discussion revolves around a pivotal political moment in the United States. The main topic is a Republican proposed constitutional amendment, Issue One, which faced a resounding defeat in a recent special election. The amendment aimed to raise the threshold for future constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60%. The defeat was seen as an attempt to hinder an upcoming referendum and garnered national attention due to its implications for abortion rights.The conversation delves into the impact of the defeat on abortion rights supporters and the connection between the proposed amendment and women's health care decisions. The panelists discuss the polling data and the landslide nature of the defeat, with little middle ground between the predictions. They highlight similar instances in other states like Kansas and Michigan, where efforts to restrict women's rights through ballot initiatives also faced significant defeats. On to the UK, Greenpeace has criticised the UK government for its perceived failure to address the climate crisis while simultaneously engaging in divisive culture wars. This critique follows a surprising Tory victory in the Uxbridge by-election, attributed to opposition against the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Greenpeace argues that the government's neglect of climate concerns contrasts with the increasing frequency of extreme weather events. The podcast panelists discuss how the ULEZ issue influenced the by-election and the Tory government's subsequent reaction to the organisation's protests, including directing officials to cease engagement with Greenpeace. This raises questions about whether the Tory government is engaging in a culture war against climate change advocates. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nearly a year to the day after Kansas voters surprised the nation by defeating an anti-abortion ballot question, Ohio voters defeated a similar, if cagier, effort to limit access in that state. This week, they rejected an effort to raise the threshold for approval of future ballot measures from a simple majority, which would have made it harder to protect abortion access with yet another ballot question come November. Meanwhile, the number of Americans without health insurance has dropped to an all-time low, though few noticed. Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico, Rachel Roubein of The Washington Post, and Emmarie Huetteman of KFF Health News join KFF Health News' chief Washington correspondent, Julie Rovner, to discuss these issues and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Kate McEvoy, executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors, about how the “Medicaid unwinding” is going, as millions have their eligibilityfor coverage rechecked. Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: KFF Health News' “How the Texas Trial Changed the Story of Abortion Rights in America,” by Sarah Varney. Joanne Kenen: Fox News' “Male Health Care Leaders Complete ‘Simulated Breastfeeding Challenge' at Texas Hospital: ‘Huge Eye-Opener,'” by Melissa Rudy. Rachel Roubein: Stat's “From Windows to Wall Art, Hospitals Use Virtual Reality to Design More Inclusive Rooms for Kids,” by Mohana Ravindranath. Emmarie Huetteman: KFF Health News' “The NIH Ices a Research Project. Is It Self-Censorship?” by Darius Tahir. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
